[ when bull gets home that day, there's a parcel waiting in his room for him. inside is a six-pack of some local, highly-rated craft beer and a box with a dozen donuts. there's also a note stuck to the top of the donut box:
This is a weird excuse for a holiday, but happy Valentine's. (The donuts are cute, right?) - L. ]
Cute. [ can you hear the grin in his voice yet? ] Honestly, it's fine, Bull. It's not like either of us have really talked about where we want to go with this, and it was a good excuse to buy fun donuts.
[ a beat. ]
.. Not that I'm saying no, mind you, so you'd better save me a beer and a donut. I want to know what the glitter tastes like.
[ hmm.. ] Look-- Don't overthink it, alright? I promise I'm not trying to complicate things.
.. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with my elbows, I'll have you know. I am a perfect size and weight, it's just the rest of you lot who're so unnecessarily tall.

Hey. Call me crazy, but when people bring me beer, it's usually more fun if they stick around and share it.
[NAILED IT.]

You're sure you're not too busy feeling sheepish?

[HAHAHAH he's fine, that wasn't embarrassing.]
So nah. Not even a little busy.

[No it's not.]
Eh... yeah. We haven't, huh? [This sure is awkward.] I'll save you two. You could stand to put a little more on those bones.
Less elbow jabbing me in the kidney.

[It's him with the problem, here, right?]
They're so tiny. They're like the size of my thumbs.

I win.

[ an amused snort. ] What're you planning to claim as a prize, then?
no subject
Heh -- depends on what you're up to right now. Or what you're wearing.
[Someone needs to stop watching TV.]
no subject
[ a flustered pause, then: ] Well, it's not that hard to take off, anyway.
no subject
[You can just hear the eyebrow waggle.]
So... it's... regular clothes?
no subject
.. What else would I be wearing? A corset?
no subject
[On purpose.]
... do you have one of those?
no subject
[ a startled laugh. ] No! Is my waist not small enough already for you?
no subject
Hey, it's fine by me. I just thought we were getting into dressing up all of the sudden.
no subject
Do you want to?
no subject
Mmm, better question. Do you?
no subject
.. I'm open to trying it.
no subject
no subject
[ a beat. ] I think we do need to talk, though.
no subject
... [And there it is.] This an in-person kind of talk?
